sparqs is delighted to announce the publication of our Practical Guide to Scotland’s Tertiary Enhancement Programme (STEP). This guide has been produced for students’ association officers and staff in the tertiary education sector in Scotland. It provides a context and overview to the STEP programme of activity and makes practical suggestions of what students’ associations and officers need to do at each stage. It is also encouraged that institutional staff involved in STEP read through this guide and consider how they will contribute to student partnership in STEP.
All colleges and universities in Scotland are involved in Scotland’s Tertiary Enhancement Programme, and definitive guidance on this core mechanism of the Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework (TQEF), can be found on the STEP website.
In addition to the guidance, sparqs is also providing support to all STEP projects – helping them to foster and grow their approaches to student engagement and partnership. We are also running a project, entitled ‘Strategies to support student engagement and partnership within an increasingly time-poor and cash-poor student population’.
